LOS ANGELES, June 13 (UPI) -- Publisher Bethesda Softworks have revealed an upcoming Prey revival during their E3 press conference.
The surprise announcement, a reimagined new entry in the Prey series that was last seen in 2006 and had its sequel cancelled in 2014, was accompanied by a cinematic trailer.
The clip, which features a new protagonist named Morgan Yu, highlighted the game's first-person shooter sequences, mysterious sci-fi setting, and a group of alien enemies cloaked in darkness.
"Arkane Studios, the team behind the critically acclaimed Dishonored series, is bringing their unique vision to Prey, a first-person sci-fi action game that reimagines the franchise from the ground up... with an added psychological twist," reads the trailer's official description.
"You are Morgan Yu, the subject of morally dubious experiments designed to improve the human race. You awaken aboard the Talos 1 in the year 2032 and must uncover the secrets hiding in the depths of the space station while being hunted by the mysterious alien force that has taken over," it continues.
"You'll have to rely on the tools you find on the station – along with your wits, weapons and mind-bending abilities – to combat the growing threat and, hopefully, survive."
In an interview with Gamespot, Prey director Raphael Colantonio confirmed that the title is a "reimagining of the IP" and that players will be able to choose between either a male or female character.
Prey will remerge on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2017.
